Jobcentre Plus

If you have a Jobcentre Work Coach, you may be able to discuss DWP Low Value Provision (LVP) funding for one of our Ofqual-regulated qualifications.

While you can tell your Work Coach that edYOUcate is your preferred training provider, all funding and procurement decisions are made by DWP.

Funding Through DWP Low Value Provision (LVP)

If you have researched providers and believe edYOUcate is the right choice for your career goals, you are welcome to tell your Work Coach that we are your preferred training provider. Where funding is approved, DWP will follow its own procurement process. If you have identified edYOUcate as your preferred provider, your preference may be taken into account during that process.

DWP Low Value Provision (LVP) funding is considered on a case-by-case basis. Funding decisions are made by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) based on your individual circumstances, employment goals, training needs and whether the proposed training represents appropriate value for public funds.

If you’re unsure whether one of our qualifications is right for you, our friendly team is happy to help you choose the most suitable course before you discuss funding with your Work Coach.

Please note: Expressing a preference for edYOUcate does not guarantee that funding or training will be awarded to us. All funding and procurement decisions are made solely by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

If your Work Coach would like any further information about our qualifications, we’re always happy to provide course details and supporting documentation to assist with their decision-making process.
